On the recordFebruary 11, 2014
I thank the gentleman for yielding. I share my friend's view that we need to be worried about the solvency of our Nation. We haven't done such a good job at that. We are, by the way, going to have a bill on the floor pretty soon which won't do much for that either, somewhat irresponsibly, in my view. But the solvency that I am worried about right now is the guy who lives in a $190,000 home with his family and has got a $25,000 premium facing him yearly, annual premium. It is going to make him move out of his home. But the problem he is going to have is nobody is going to buy his home. We need to act.
